How does your school measure up? Measure Up is a data tool to assist school leaders to explain their Ohio local report card and to analyze the report card data. This free, downloadable tool provides visual displays and explanations of all data pertinent to determining the report card rating for each district and building in Ohio. That data includes the state indicators, Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), Performance Index scores, "Safe Harbor" and performance of subgroups.
Key Questions are identified in each frame to guide the analysis of the data. Measure Up has a number of key features that can be used in presentations when delivering key messages about the performance of a school to staff members, parents, school board members, and community members.
The stand-alone data tool can be downloaded free from the Ohio School Leaders Site. The tool comes in formats for Mac and Windows-compatible systems. A brochure of the tool and a PI stand-alone calculator are included on the site.
Note: The current version has several changes. These include changes in the Value-Added information, Growth Model in AYP, and a three-year look at AYP results for each subgroup.
